Scott Brick and Johnny Heller — two of the most sought-after audiobook narration coaches in the nation, with over 1600 titles between them — are back at it with The New York Audiobook Business Workshop 2, a follow-up to last year's wildly successful seminar! Again focusing on business topics targeted specifically to audiobook narrators, this year's sequel event features new panel guests (with a few familiar faces returning), new programming, and two whole additional hours of narration knowledge.
Based on the principle that the business side of our careers should be executed as artfully as the creative, this workshop is designed to take what you've already learned a step further by creating an action plan and putting it to work for you. Teaming up with the best industry professionals, this seminar will give you the tools to take your business and narration acumen to the next level.
Whether you attended last year's event or not, you don't want to miss this workshop!
Workshop Tuition: $449.95 Space is Limited!
